    This park is absolutely beautiful! And it adds so much to the cute little town of St. Thomas…read more I visited on a sunny day in May with my family, and we had a great time. Parking is free, the park itself is beautiful - there were bridges, a mini waterfall, lakes, a playground and a splash pad! Little critters are everywhere - turtles, snails (big ones too!), and lots of squirrels and birds! Waterworks Park seems like the perfect place for a picnic, a mini day trip, or just a place to relax. I can't wait to visit this place again! The drive from London to St. Thomas to go here is definitely worth it.

    I saw this park pop up on my list for St Thomas and normally I dont do reviews on places, but this…read morepark is special. I've gone to all the different parks in St Thomas and most of them are REALLY NICE, but this one and Pinafore Park are truly great. You want a playground? check. You need a splashpad? check. Want a nice paved path to push a stroller around for a walk? check. You want nice gardens and just nice pleasant landscaping. check. Heck i even heard/saw people fishing in the river that's nearby? I don't even fish and that sounds like a awesome bonus! And i used to do the Pokemon thing and there's a TON of stops and gyms or whatever there so you can literally walk around a beautiful park playing your game or taking a seat on one of the benches, maybe have a coffee with you and chill. It's great... there's bathrooms and change rooms, its never too busy. I have zero bad to say about this place. Bring your kids.... enjoy it, we are lucky to have this.

    My dad actually grew up in Oakville, so it was rad to come to Coronation Park with him as he showed…read moreme his old stomping grounds. He was also my production assistant for this leg of Chicken Wars, as we did 3 tissi reviews in this park... that sentence would have been complete gibberish to me 3 months ago lol. As tradition holds with my reviews of parks, I'm gonna let off some steam. I'm tired. Ever since me reviewing rotisserie chickens in outdoor spaces went semi-viral, I've been giving this everything I got. My entire soul. I've sat at my corporate 9-5 job for years dreaming about something like this to happen, so when it finally did, I was ready. I pounced. I said to myself "yeah you're exhausted, but this is the time. It's quite literally now or never." I've given it everything, so at least at the end of the day I can look myself in the mirror and say I tried. I tried my best. Working a 9-5 job in tech sales while doing the writing, editing, eating, filming, traveling, etc. for this has taken every ounce of my being. It's starting to get to me. I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining at all, I'm actually extremely grateful, but I just want to stay raw and honest. The reality is there are highs and lows with everything, and I'm just trying to learn how to navigate them. Seeing that Sports Science guy end it all the other day made me so sad. Like damn that guy brought so much joy to my childhood. Even he was going through it!?!? He looked so happy all the time. I just think it's important to get this stuff out of my head and onto metaphorical paper. Maybe this one should have just stayed in my journal, but whatever. I think it will be cool to come back in 10 years and read this and either laugh at myself for being a dork, or be like "damn I was spitting." That's why I love writing so much.

    This park was the highlight of our summer during pandemic and being a parent of a young kids…read more The only downside of the park is parking . Considering the size of the park, the ratio to park your vehicle is ver low. So we used to visit the park in a little off hours. It has an endless dimension for a toddler to run freely, its always breezy around the park due to the lake. The splash pad is huge , clean and the best. It has a combination of low pressure and high pressure water outputs so the kids of every age group a d enjoy it. There are a few picnic tables, you have to be lucky to grab one. One unique thing about the park is that the young kids play area is separated by toddlers play area which keeps ten toddlers safe and it is big peace of mind for a parent like me. The park is cleaned regularly and the grass is always trimmed. So go for it!

    It's a nice park in downtown Kitchener offering lots of options to enjoy. It has a playground,…read moresplash pad, basketball courts and picnic areas. It is a family-friendly park and you can enjoy walking, running, biking or roller skating in the park while your children are busy playing in the playground. There is plenty of shade to move the picnic tables and enjoy a nice meal.

    The first time I passed by Victoria Park was by accident. I drove along and noticed this beautiful…read morepark. It was in the wintertime. I vowed to come back when the weather was warmer. Well, with the recent heatwave that happened, I was in the neighbourhood, saw a parking lot, and decided to stop by. It was 36°C outside. With the humidity, it was much hotter. I am crazy, but I am glad that I stopped by. I walked around the park. It's picturesque and I can understand why folks choose to get wedding photos taken here. There are plenty of benches around. The bike and walking paths are generous. There are a ton of bridges over the water. Lots of folks were out and about. I also got to say hi to a dog and his owner. For kids, there's a splash area. There were plenty of cheerful kids cooling off and having a good time. I liked the canoe that was at the park. It was different, but a good fit. I spent nearly an hour there. I left fearing that I would be a water blob from the heat. I will try coming back here when it's not as humid. It's the perfect way to relax, take a stroll, and take photos of this beautiful park.
